RED MEAT HUB - Healthy Beef Stroganoff

INGREDIENTS

600g lean beef rump steak, fat trimmed, cut into strips

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp smoked paprika + extra, to serve

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

250g brown mushrooms, thinly sliced

1 ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce

¾ cup salt reduced beef stock

1 ½ tbsp tomato paste

150g light sour cream or Greek yoghurt

60g baby spinach, chopped

Parsley leaves, chopped, cooked pasta of choice, steamed green beans, broccolini, and lemon wedges, to serve.

Place beef strips, half the oil and paprika in a snap lock bag. Season. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook beef, in batches, for 1–2 minutes, turning as required. Set aside on a plate loosely covered with foil.
Add remaining oil to pan, add onion and cook for 3–4 minutes or until softened. Add mushrooms and cook for 2–3 minutes or until lightly browned. Add Worcestershire, stock and tomato paste, stir well and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in sour cream or yoghurt and simmer for 1–2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Return beef and any juices to pan and heat through for a further for 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir through baby spinach.
Serve beef stroganoff with pasta, steamed beans and broccolini. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Stir fry strips or Beef fillet, sirloin or scotch fillet cut into strips would also be delicious in this recipe.
When cooking beef strips cook first side until the first sign of moisture appears on uncooked side, then turn and cook other side to complete the cooking. This means the beef strips brown well and the meat will be tender.
